**Preface to "Advances in Modeling and Management of Urban Water Networks"**

Technical progress in sensors, control systems, and computational resources has breathed new life into the research on urban water networks (UWNs), which has broadened from the well-established topics of simulation and design to aspects of optimization, real-time monitoring and management, and water quality. Following an introductory paper, this book presents a collection of fifteen works that well represents the current research lines in the field of UWNs.
